ATRC PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY FOR KOSOVO CITIZENS TO GATHER INFORMATION
ABOUT AHTISAARI'S PROPOSAL

ATRC in cooperation with thirty local NGOs will organize community roundtables in 30 municipalities of Kosovo and seven regional town hall meetings during the next two months, in an attempt to inform civil society organizations and citizens about the content of the Kosovo settlement proposal.
These public events are an opportunity for citizens to gather information, make their concerns heard, and ask questions about the proposal of Martti Ahtisaari, UN Secretary General Envoy in Charge of the Negotiations on the future status of Kosovo.
Ahtisaari unveiled his package proposal on February 2, after a year of negotiations between Prishtina and Belgrade in Vienna, Austria.
The panelists participating in ATRC roundtable meetings will be individuals who have specific expertise on the proposal. Local and central government, NGO, media and business representatives, will participate the meetings, as well.   

“The aim of the Comprehensive Proposal for the Kosovo Status Settlement is to define the provisions necessary for a future Kosovo that is viable, sustainable and stable. It includes detailed measures to ensure the promotion and protection of the rights of communities and their members, the effective decentralization of government, and the preservation and protection of cultural and religious heritage”, the executive summary of Ahtisari’s status proposal says.
